I recently was asked at work to tie one of our SVN repositories to HipChat. It’s OK if you don’t know what either of those things are, and if you do, admit to yourself now, you’re a dork. The important part is that I finished it and decided to kick it out to the open […]

It’s true, it’s been a little crazy. I was going to start off saying “It’s obvious I’ve been busy as I haven’t posted in over a month,” but then I looked at my post history and it’s not so obvious… at least not yet. I’ve tried to keep the posts coming, and I’m sure if […]

I’ve been using WordPress for a couple of years now and I must say that the more I use it, the more I think it’s the greatest thing since… well, the internet. It makes keeping this site up so easy and looking great. Sure, I don’t always do a great job posting, but it looks […]

I’ve been using Snow Leopard for 3 days. I first upgraded my work computer. So far so good. I’ve been over happy with the upgrade. Two things bug me:  no more Apple Talk and the new Expose. The removal of Apple Talk is an inconvenience at most. It’s a little annoying, as most of my […]

795I’ve been pretty busy with life, work, family and NBA Playoff basketball, so I’m behind in my posts. I have some coming though. Hayden’s B-Day party, a Daniel Whittington show, and fun with apache redirects, all to come.

I did the funnest little project over the last day; converting a new Dell Mini9 (Inspiron 910) to a Mac NetBook! Thankfully, there is a great write up for the conversion project as it would probably have never been done without it. How those guys figure it out is amazing. So first thing is, we […]

Nope, not the hilariously funny British TV show, but for those that work, have worked, or know someone who works in IT, this video is for you. Sure, it’s made the rounds, and quite possibly, you’ve already seen it. But man, it’s funny. It was re-making the rounds today at work and my co-worker was […]
